Young M.A Rapper Battles Illness

The “Ooouuu” rapper has been relatively quiet on social media in the past year, but a viral video of her getting her locs retwisted and a shape up by her barber is making fans worry about her health.

The video, which showed the Brooklyn native getting a dreadlock cut by Wild ‘N Out star Fats Da Barber, quickly went viral Tuesday (March 14). A few internet detectives pointed out that M.A’s eyes had a yellow tint, which led to speculation that she was battling some illness.

Numerous Twitter users speculated that the “Ooouuu” rapper might be contending with sickle cell disease or kidney failure, conditions that can lead to a yellowing of the skin and the whites of the eyes due to elevated bilirubin levels in the bloodstream. Alongside these discussions, many also extended their heartfelt prayers for her well-being and a swift return to health.

A few fans shared their own health concerns on social media, pointing out that Young MA has struggled with depression and has battled with mental health issues in the past. Others expressed hope that the “Ooouuu” emcee would seek help and take the necessary steps to heal herself.
